Real-time strategists beware and get the cavalry in position: While fans of the Age of Empires series are still patiently waiting for the completion of the new fourth part by developer Relic Entertainment, they will already get new food for the Definitive Edition of the second installment on August 10. This is when the next official expansion for the tactical game, Dawn of the Dukes, will be released.

Help the Poles become a powerful state of the European Middle Ages, fight side by side with peasants and nobles through the lush plains of the continent and smash through the enemy lines with their war hammer.
The new units are involved in three new and fully voiced campaigns in Eastern and Central Europe. There is Algirdas and Kenstut, who are the prince of a small area in Lithuania and his loyal brother, who have to assert themselves against the grandchildren of Genghis Khan, among other things.

She has to assert herself against leaders like Vytautas the Great and Jogaila, among other things. Finally, a third campaign focuses on the one-eyed Jan Žižka in Bohemia,
